Financing Your Studies

Your RRSP

The Lifelong Learning Plan is provided by the Canada Revenue Agency and allows you to draw funds from your RRSP to finance education (for you or your spouse/common-law partner).

Government Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance may be available from the Alberta Government for eligible students attending courses on a part-time basis. A non-repayable bursary may be awarded to eligible students to cover payment of tuition fees and course-related expenses. Federal government loans are also available to assist with living costs, but most working adults will not be eligible for these.

Information about both bursaries and loans can be obtained directly from the Government of Alberta’ Learning Information Service.
